Pimp My Game: Zombicide Objective Markers

I really have to make writing in here a regular habit.

So, custom objective markers for Zombicide.
The gas cans and ammo tins are generic decorations, the water bottles are made by Meng.

The props are mounted on a clear acrylic disc from Litko; these were custom ordered at 23mm diameter, so as to fit snug on top of a generic round lip base.  In turn, the bases are painted the appropriate colours.

This allows the props to be randomly swapped around for hidden objectives.  Shuffle the black bases (some of which have painted undersides) and plunk the markers on top.
 Where's the red objective?
Turns out it was under the gas can marker.

I've got a few ideas for other markers: a first aid kit, weapons, radios, boxes of tinned food, etc.  I'd love to add a portable generator to the roster, but have had zero luck finding one remotely to scale.  Maybe via Shapeways, someday...
